Addison Russell is Sitting Out on Saturday

Chicago Cubs infielder Addison Russell (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Russell recorded his first hit of the season on Friday, but fantasy owners shouldn't expect too much. Russell isn't a great fantasy option, but is likely going to play two out of every three games. David […]

Dee Gordon Won't Play on Saturday

Seattle Mariners second baseman Dee Gordon (wrist) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Boston Red Sox. Shed Long will make his Major League debut on Saturday. He was hitting well in the minors and can play multiple positions, so he should see plenty of action in Seattle. He'll bat ninth […]

Points Leagues Waiver Wire Pickups: Week 7

Welcome to the RotoBaller waiver wire column which falls in-line with most fantasy “who should I pick up?” articles with a skew towards points leagues. Yes, there is positive correlation to standard 5x5 scoring but in our format, specific categories matter less and the accumulation of total stats is the ultimate objective. Some stats are […]

H2H Category Streamers - Week 7 Waiver Wire

There are plenty of strategies that fantasy managers explore in hopes to get an advantage over their opponent. Heavy lineup, heavy starting pitchers, no catcher, all (or mostly) reliever staff, no reliever staff, etc. Even if you play a balanced lineup, injuries can cause holes. A few weeks without a key player won’t kill a […]

Leury Garcia Brings In A Run On Friday

Chicago White Sox second baseman Leury Garcia went 0-for-4 with an RBI in the 4-3 loss to the Blue Jays on Friday. It was his second game since returning from a thumb injury that kept him out of the lineup for a few days, with the 28-year-old compiling a total of seven hits in the […]

Head-to-Head Hitter Streamers & Starts for Week 7

Keep in mind that this […]

Adam Frazier Hits Second Home Run Friday

Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman Adam Frazier went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 2-1 win over the Cardinals. Frazier also struck out three times in the game. After a decent start to the season, Frazier had cooled down considerably but has managed to put together a seven-game hit streak. He doesn't have a […]

Niko Goodrum Expected To Avoid Injured List

Detroit Tigers infielder/outfielder Niko Goodrum's (knee) MRI exam came back clean on Friday night after he was involved in a collision at first base, and he was diagnosed with just a bruise. Manager Ron Gardenhire said the team expects Goodrum to avoid the injured list, but he will likely be sore Saturday. Don't be surprised […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (5/11/19): MLB DFS Lineups

It is finally Saturday! With the weather warming up what better way to celebrate than with two baseball slates? Once again both slates are deemed "featured" by DraftKings, but with slightly more emphasis on the 8 game main slate at 7:10. Therefore, in this article I will be focusing on that late slate and trying […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (5/11/19): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

It's Saturday and that means us baseball fans are treated to a full slate of games. We even get a double-header and we're fortunate not to have too much rain in the forecast. That's all we can ask for and it's exciting to set some lineups after a successful night on Friday. In this article, […]

Niko Goodrum Injured In Collision At First Base

Detroit Tigers infielder Niko Goodrum (knee) left the game early on Friday with a right patellar contusion after he collided with Twins third baseman Marwin Gonzalez during a play at first base. Consider him day-to-day for now, but he could sit out a game or two. Goodrum was hitless in three plate appearances with a […]

Jose Altuve Day-To-Day With Hamstring Injury

Updating a previous report, Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve (hamstring) is listed as day-to-day after leaving the game early on Friday with left hamstring discomfort. Altuve's fantasy owners can breathe a sigh of relief that this wasn't a serious injury. He also had single in his only plate appearance before leaving. Coming into the […]

Jose Altuve Leaves Game Early

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve left the game early on Friday after beating out an infield single. There is no indication yet what the injury may be or the severity. Altuve underwent surgery on his right knee in the offseason, so any lower-body injury should be monitored closely. Altuve will be considered day-to-day at […]

Brock Holt Could Start Rehab Assignment Sunday

Boston Red Sox infielder Brock Holt (shoulder) could start his minor league rehab assignment on Sunday. The good news is that Holt could return to Boston at some point next week. The bad news is that he had just one hit in 16 at-bats before his injury and might be behind Michael Chavis, Eduardo Nunez […]

Dylan Moore Placed On Injured List

The Seattle Mariners placed infielder Dylan Moore (wrist) on the 10-day injured list on Friday with a right wrist contusion. Shortstop J.P. Crawford and second baseman Shed Long were called up from Triple-A Tacoma in corresponding moves. Moore was serving as a utility infielder and wasn't hitting much, so he wasn't relevant in fantasy to […]

Ryan McMahon Out Against Lefty

Colorado Rockies second baseman Ryan McMahon is not in the starting lineup on Friday against Padres left-handed starting pitcher Eric Lauer. Garrett Hampson is receiving the start at the keystone and is hitting seventh. It's been a tough start for the 24-year-old, as he hasn't seen much playing time and is slashing .186/.211/.267 with a […]

Dee Gordon Out Friday, J.P. Crawford At Shortstop

Seattle Mariners second baseman Dee Gordon (wrist) is not in the starting lineup on Friday after being hit by a pitch on Thursday night. Tim Beckham shifts to the keystone, while J.P. Crawford is at shortstop and is hitting seventh against Red Sox left-handed starter Eduardo Rodriguez. Gordon is undergoing a CT scan on Friday, […]

Yolmer Sanchez Gets A Day Off Friday

Chicago White Sox second baseman Yolmer Sanchez is not in the starting lineup on Friday. Leury Garcia will play second base and hit leadoff against Blue Jays starting pitcher Daniel Hudson as the opener. Garcia missed two games this week with an injury but is back in the fold and is hitting a fine .295/.341/.380 […]

Tommy La Stella Leading Off, Albert Pujols Sitting

Los Angeles Angels infielder Tommy La Stella is playing second and batting leadoff on Friday against Orioles starting pitcher Dan Straily. La Stella clobbered two homers and now has nine on the season to go along with 19 runs and 23 RBI. He'll certainly be worth a look in the leadoff spot against a weak […]

Josh Harrison Begins Rehab Assignment

Detroit Tigers second baseman Josh Harrison (shoulder) started his rehab assignment with High-A Lakeland on Thursday. He went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in his first game on the farm and was hitting an atrocious .156/.212/.233 with a homer, seven RBI and two steals in 90 at-bats for Detroit before his injury. The 31-year-old infielder is […]

Mariners Bringing Up Shed Long, J.P. Crawford

The Seattle Mariners are calling up second baseman Shed Long and shortstop J.P. Crawford from the minors on Friday to join the team for the weekend series against the Red Sox in Boston. There's a chance both Long and Crawford become the team's middle infielders with Tim Beckham slumping mightily and Dee Gordon (wrist) possibly […]

Dylan Moore To Have Tests On Wrist

Seattle Mariners infielder Dylan Moore (wrist) will undergo tests on his right wrist on Friday. He was hit by a pitch on Wednesday and wasn't supposed to play on Thursday, but he was forced into action when second baseman Dee Gordon was also hit by a pitch on the wrist. Moore did have a walk […]

Dee Gordon's X-Rays Inconclusive

Seattle Mariners second baseman Dee Gordon's (wrist) X-rays came back inconclusive on Thursday night after he had to leave the game after being hit on the wrist by a J.A. Happ fastball. The speedy infielder will undergo more tests on Friday, and there seems to be a good chance that he'll go on the injured […]
